  "account": "New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart may have a breakout season in 2026 that could make him a fantasy football star, according to Sports Illustrated's Michael Fabiano. Fabiano points out that in the past 11 years, at least one quarterback has posted a breakout season each year, making Dart a strong candidate for fantasy managers to target in their drafts. Among the potential breakout players, Fabiano favors Jaxson Dart over fellow rookies Tyler Shough and Cam Ward. Dart had a solid rookie season and now has Malik Nabers back from a knee injury, which bodes well for his development. Shough also showed potential in the second half of his rookie campaign, making him another attractive option. While Ward is more of a sleeper than a breakout candidate, he could still exceed expectations. Dart demonstrated dual-threat capabilities in 2025, gaining significant yardage on the ground and throwing for over 4,000 yards. If Dart stays healthy in 2026, he could become a valuable fantasy asset, potentially finishing as an overall QB1 for some teams.",
